Meet Bear!!! ID# 0920555

Male

5 years old

About 28 lbs

Previous owner surrendered (Re: Had no time for him)

A Volunteer Writes: Bear is a tiny Pittie who barely weighs more than my Pug. He is a minuscule speck in a big cage…What kind of mix could he be? Basset Hounds genes might be one piece of the puzzle… Bear was relinquished as his owner (who had only great things to say about him) had no time for a pet anymore. Bear is a Teddy Bear. This is the only comparison I can think of for this small dog. He walks beautifully and seems very much housetrained. He meets other dogs in a very nice way. . He is a love bug who likes to come on the lap, hug, be hugged, kiss and be kissed. Bear is a gem of a dog. Bear could fit in a bag that one can take on the bus or subway, going places and enjoy life. He is the perfect size, without doubt, for a New York City apartment. He is a sweetheart too. Bear is at the Manhattan shelter, hoping…and dreaming of his new forever family
